Dressed as a transportational cyclist

It was raining to beat the band this morning on the way to work. Enough
so that I felt that going the 5 or 6 miles to the park and ride was
enough.

You know, I think of myself as a "transportational" cyclist. Someone
who rides not just for fun -- and don't get me wrong, I do have fun --
but also to get places. And this morning, I felt like I was decked out
as a transportational cyclist. Someone who is used to riding in the
dark and rain. So here I was, waiting for the bus, in my booties and
orange reflective vest and technical-fabric jacket. And then someone
else comes up to the bus stop in this downpour. He's riding a Huffy.
He's wearing a navy blue blazer, white button-down shirt, striped tie,
grey slacks, and a nice pair of shiny black loafers. And you know what?
He's just as much a transportational cyclist, and dressed as one.

P.S. I got a new job today!! Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!

Warm Regards,

Awesome Claire,

You sound like a tough chick. And, if you don't mind me asking, "what do you
do?"

After asking that question, I'd like to know what others do for work.

I'm a librarian.

Woo hoo to Claire on the employment. I've thought exactly the same
about other transportational cyclists who dress "normally." I've even
moved more toward looking like a DUI cyclist instead of the fully
decked out OCP who also happens to ride to work.

I hunt and destroy spammers for a living. The bounty is still pretty
good if you can bag enough of them.

We want to know all the details. How far is it from home? Is it
close to a bus line if you need to ride? Where will you park your
bike? Does it have showers? Can you see outside to check the weather
before your ride home?

Oh yeah, and do you think you'll like the job?

In that case, would you kindly consider going after a certain spammoid
haunting this group and r.b.t.? We would all be so thankful. :-)

Since Claire posts under her own name and this is a public newsgroup, she
loves the job. Her cow orkers are marvelous people, all kind and helpful and
skillful and willing to mentor her. Her boss is up for canonization. The
benefits are perfect.
